I was just looking at Kevin's close-up of the MF

(http://www.brickshelf.com/scans/catalogs/2000/c00am-100dpi/c00am-12a.html)

and noticed something.  I think the top front mandible is one crooked,
or coming off!  It, and the side pieces ramping down to the circular
docking ports, are attached via 5-tooth hinges.  But take a close look
at the 6x14 gray plate there.  It's askew to the side!  This can also be
seen comparing the top mandible to the bottom mandible - they don't seem
to line up square.  And I don't think it's just the perspective.


See my earlier post--I think they are hiding something.  The MF probably looks
even worse when you can see between the top front mandible and the hull piece.
And why did they use _blue_ grille tiles with red (or worse, orange) plates
underneath?  I just don't get this whole thing :-(
